Hello all,
I was given a heavily used Spyderco Miltary by a friend. The only problem it has is the backspacer is stripped out. I was wondering if anyone knows where I could get a replacement spacer and screws? The screws may be alright, but I'm sure the spacer is stripped. The screws just spin around in it. Thanks for the help!!
 
Yup. ^^ Standoffs are the way to go.

Did you use heat on your lanyard tube and stop pin?

I looked at those just now and they're natural colored. Must be a camera issue.
I did heat treat the low carry clip to a blue-green to blend better with the digicam handle. I RIT dyed the digicam black to deepen the color as well. Just looks more like the camo on my uniforms back in the 80's and 90's.

It's been a user for a little while so it's showing some character.
The low clip is offered by the same forum member I supplied a link to above. Also sells the standoffs the OP may be interested in.

I also replaced my backspacer with standoffs. I love the knife even more now. It also fixed my blade centering issue. And they won't strip. I found some with the same thread pitch as the stock screws. Look for my thread via my profile I'm sure I have a link in there.
